Hello everyone,
I have some great news to share! We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 100, we have included essential fixes and new features. One of the new features we’ve included is:
- Improve the accessibility of your content. Get actionable feedback based on key WCAG guidelines to instantly identify barriers like missing closed captions and disabled course playback speed.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You’ll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help.
I re-used a template which had alt text created for words on a page (text boxes) which is not required. Alt txt should be to describe images and buttons. When our Translator exported it to word, the alt txt appeared for some of the text boxes. They counted them in word count to determine the cost. I had to send them the word documents I was given to populate the course.
When I right clicked on the text box, the drop down gave me the Accessibility feature. When I opened it, it showed old text from the previous course. I deleted it and for some reason it re-appeared. If I uncheck the box where it shows "Alt Text", it keeps it grayed out.
Why is it storing the content for each text box when it is not required. I don't understand.

Hello Daniela!
I'm happy to clarify! The option to add alt text is a feature for all objects. By default, the alt text for a text box is the text box content unless it is changed in the Accessibility window or Focus Order window. It sounds like the alt text was changed for the text box when previously using the template. From here, you'll want to either erase the alt text for the text box or copy the text and paste it as the alt text.
